Youve been waiting for this all night, clicking and clicking. Hoping to get noticed.
Instead you eat pathos.
You are giving the attention he doesn’t get in meatspace.
Duh.
Maybe this is Hunter Biden’s glib account and he gets plenty of attention in meatspace
WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THE OTHER HAND
I think we all know the answer to that.
It’s really weird how our government goes hat in hand to OPEC after shutting down a big pipeline project. Almost like they want us to fail.
“We want you to have money and power over us!”
Well, the one coherent thing he said at one of his few campaign stops focused on getting away from the America First mentality. He’s just living up to his campaign promise (not that he knows it).
I guess we need to start believing them when they say things that show how much they hate us. We probably needed to start believing them decades ago.
What’s funny is, they don’t seem to expect people to remember last fucking year, when we had plenty. It’s almost like they know the media will cover up the history of even just a few months ago for them. And people will buy it, because google told them so.
I think people really don’t remember last year. It’s utterly dismaying how far gone we are from a decade ago. I think social media via smartphones has actually rotted out the American psyche. I hate to seem all old man yells at cloud but sheesh, it’s like pod people out there.
Last year, most people forget about news events from last week. I mean, if something big like a mass shooting in Las Vegas, then maybe people would remember…
That never happened man…
It’s infuriating.
The funny part was all the “fact checking” pretending that the price of gas is not gone of the rails because team blue decided that the whole concept of energy independence was in the way of them being able to parcel out a ton of tax payer dollars to their buddies (whom will then donate a big chunk of that to their campaign coffers) under the guise of green energy shit. Being told by a bunch of dnc operatives with bylines that canceling a massive US pipeline and blocking fracking and other drilling, which unless you are one of those people that believes real communism has never been done, everyone knows would drastically impact supply, is not why the prices are up – cause oil prices are not set by speculators that keep a close eye on the whole supply & demand thingy most commies simply don’t believe exists – would be funny if it wasn’t for the fact we are all taking it in the ass because of these criminals.
Its also less funny because half of the country believes the high prices have nothing to do with this administration.
Those tend to be the people I mentioned that believe real communism has never happened and that the economics of supply & demand are just patriarchal nonsense used by robber barons that want to fuck over and rob poor people (cause everyone knows you rob poor people to get really rich)…
It’s because half the country lives in cities where they only put gas in the tank once a month at best. And now with work from home for a majority of them, it is less often.
The whole thing is stupid and evil, cancel leases on federal land because climate change, then burn just as much buying it from other countries.
Burn more you mean.
Maybe, people buy less when prices go up.
But OPEC isn’t doing anything clean…and then they have to transport the oil too…
Pipelines are good.
Unless it starts in Canada.
Things like a pipeline or more drilling are certainly not good items if you need to convince people to let you dole out a shit-ton of tax payer lucre to your friends & colleagues – under the guise of creating green energy solutions – so these people winning the lottery can then turn around and give you a good chunk of that money back as campaign contributions….
I don’t think consumers care how clean it is.
They say they do though. What this does allow us to do is outsource emissions and then make the claim that we decreased emissions.
Corruption and utter contempt for the hoi polloi explain most of this administration’s decisions.
The other part that is just criminal is that the Saudi’s will pump more oil, but there will be a price. What new genocide will we have to get involved in to keep the oil flowing?
The
spiceoil must flow….And no love for Bessie, the Lake Erie Monster?
Bessie is just a fat Canadian thats swum across from Windsor.
I banged her.
Don’t let SEA SMITH hear what you did to his sister.
I…I believe that.
My one part of disbelief is someone that fits Tres’ predilections being able to swim that far. Now if she had just floated across the lake, that I could believe.
A few dulsatory flipper flaps, a good wind, and viola, Tres is all over it.
Don’t string us along, Swiss. I think we need more detail on the bassist of the method. If you don’t satiate the crowd, you may find you’ve incited them to violins.
*narrows gaze*
Me too.
I was there first! Eat that Bro and Tres!
All the strippers in Windsor are skinny. Al least, they were in the nineties when I went.
I will second that emotion… Them strippers were of better quality than the ones across the border…
Well, across the river is Detroit, so…
You don’t like skanks?
Detroit? Skank’s dead!
You don’t like skanks?
The shithole so bad that even Clevelanders can look down on them.

It would be fun to watch the two non-expansion (assuming you consider the NuBrowns non-expansion) teams to never be in the superbowl be in one against each other.
And no one outside of Ohio and Michigan would care about the game at all.

How much wood chips would a wood chip carrier carry if a wood chip carrier could carry wood chips?

Bellbottoms…
Shag carpet and cheap wood paneling…inside a van.

Welcome to my childhood bedroom.
Is it any wonder I turned out a little off?
I hear that’s what they wanted to do at Guantanamo before the lawyers sued them on the grounds it violated the Geneva convention…
The house I own still has a mirrored wall, with a mirrored outlet cover over the power outlets in that wall. Tearing that down is on the list of home improvements.
Mine had the gold vein version on out east wall. My kid broke two of them when he was little and cut himself once, so we yanked them out. I considered getting a mirrored ball and turning the living room into a space museum.
Oh yeah, the ’65 rancher I bought had an entire wall of that stuff behind the bar in the basement.
No mirrors on the ceiling?
Pink champagne on ice?
Are you kidding me? That room is tailor made for swingers parties.
Yeah, that belongs on the ceiling.
Growing up my Italian friend had the plastic slipcovers on his couch and mirrored baseboard heat radiator covers. Big time.
In high school, my bed was a full-motion waterbed with black velvet rail pads and black satin sheets/comforter. Damn, do I miss that bed. I don’t think it would survive a night with my big lummox of a cat though.
Why did waterbeds go out of fashion? How did they ever come into fashion? I’d watch a documentary about this.
Here one is, too short though.
I like the big hair. I want tenderly textured locks this fall. And a mustache.
I like the fact that hot chicks were born that way. No surgery and light makeup.

Detectives have examined footage from video surveillance cameras on the bus and have distributed a bulletin to law enforcement with the suspected gunman’s photo.
Why not release the photo to the general public, hoping for a tip on the perp’s ID?
Or would that be “perpetuating racial stereotypes” and thus verboten?
Could have been one of the protected ones…antifa.
Or it could have been antifa that got shot.
Either way, vigilante justice is going to be on the rise for the foreseeable future.
Defund the police, and vigilante justice is what you get. Basically every offense becomes a capital offense. They forget that the police also protect suspects from angry citizens.
Because he’s wearing a mask, just like everybody else. Funny that now cameras are everywhere, masks are mandatory. Before the vid, that guy would have gotten caught before he got home.
Out our establishment, which just re-instated masks for customers after a few weeks without it, every customer is required to lower their mask and show their face to camera before entering, because yeah it’s worthless if you don’t have a face shot.
Same thing happens up here. White guy on the loose? Meth-laden mugshot. Bipoc? Radio silence. There is a certain segment of the population that numbers about 4-5% of the population but commit 50% of the crimes. Smell familiar?
“President Biden has made clear that he wants Americans to have access to affordable and reliable energy, including at the pump,” he added.

Well, the coffee is not bad; it’s our store’s organic brand (Nature’s Promise) and was on sale. Caloriewise, I spend 6 days per week walking and lifting things so I’ll burn them off (is what I like to tell myself while waiting for a Porterhouse Blue). Showering is, ideally, a daily event; I ain’t no filthy hippy.

My amex expired in 2020 and I have yet to get a new one
What kind of guilt is in your wallet?
Damn it. I’ve got two and one is my preferred card.
mine is a corporate card I use on business trips and I have no choice in the matter. I did not get a new one because due to no travel in the pandemic my company has not ordered one for me. I will get one eventually.
Same, no choice for business travel, we must use corporate card.
No point in caring… I’m sure all the companies are doing this.
Yeah I don’t use Amex because they charge more on merchant fees. There is no reason to think Visa and MC are somehow less woke.
^^ this.
Yeah. I’m gonna have to pick my battles.
*sigh*
There seems to be soooo many these days.
This shit is just a bunch of morons hoping that if they act woke the machine will fuck them in the ass last. Make them pay for it…
I think there is a strong element of doing shit they believe won’t cost them much in the end and get good publicity. Empty posturing.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of American Express (and CEO until he retired in 2018) Kenneth Chenault, a black guy. Yeah, American Express is a systemically racist company where black people are always denied opportunity.

Dammit, my irony meter just started smoking and then it exploded. What happened?

We’re too busy waging war on America
The president, meanwhile, is holding firm to last spring’s decision to withdraw U.S. combat troops, calculating that war-weary voters would rather tune out the alarming developments in a conflict they’ve largely ignored.
“I do not regret my decision,” Biden told reporters Tuesday, after pointing out that the U.S. has spent more than a trillion dollars and lost thousands of its own troops to train and equip Afghanistan’s military.
We’ll need those troops to pacify the hicks in Flyoverlandia.
That old coot can’t even walk anymore. I’ve had my own balance issues for quite some time but at least I don’t pretend to be the leader of the free world. Who the fuck is pulling his strings? Every decision seems to be wrong and stupid. This is a dangerous place!
Hell, I have balance issues so I walk with a cane. But I can damn well stay on the path.

Some analysts say the Biden administration needs to go ahead and impose economic sanctions on Taliban leaders while pushing for travel restrictions on them. That will get across the message that the militia’s leaders risk being global pariahs if they try to take over the country by force, said Lisa Curtis, a former top U.S. official who dealt with Afghanistan.
She argued that the U.S. had to make such moves even though in the past the Taliban have not shown much regard for what the world thinks of them.
Nobody wants to be a global pariah. That’ll straighten their act up.
And if that fails, they’ll be sure to send them a very strongly worded letter.
I guess this absurd BS is better than our young men and women getting shot at. But, for the life of me, I can’t figure out if these people realize how pathetic they sound.
They can’t. I agree with getting out and knew damn well this horror show would ensue. The Biden administration lacks the spine to say loudly and repeatedly we can’t keep pouring money and personnel into a country that cares less about itself than we do. 20 years of graft, corruption, and ineptitude is enough.
Well, we all know that the Taliban gives a shit what Canada or any other lily-white liberal nation thinks.
It’s their most pressing concern!
“A man who used 80 pounds of explosives in a gender reveal party that damaged property in two states has been fined just $620 – and he might not even have to pay that full amount.
Anthony Spinelli, a 28-year-old Kingston, New Hampshire man, pleaded guilty to a disorderly conduct charge stemming from an April explosion that was heard by nearby residents in New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
Residents had complained that the foundations to their homes were damaged after the shockwaves rattled properties within a 20-mile radius of the Torromeo quarry.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9884879/Man-pleads-guilty-fined-620-explosion-gender-reveal.html
I’m going to guess that a thorough investigation would find that a lot of those cracked foundations have cracks that suspiciously look very, very old.
Sort of like how a hail storm damages a lot more roof than you’d expect.
We may need to know more about the explosives. Hi powered stuff can do a lot of damage.

Capitalism is absolutely the core of evil and has so many ties to white supremacy. But it’s not going to be sorted out over night, and it’s going to take the old straight white 1% to tap out of capitalism *first* for the rest of us to be safe on even basic levels. REALISTICALLY.

Am I the only one that sees that the main reason marxism is so appealing to these idiots is that they hate any system based on merit? I keep finding that most marxists never really read Marx, that if they did it is a rare thing that they understood what he was saying, and that those that read & understood him and didn’t recoil from that dreck simply are evil people hoping to take advantage of the gullible people’s feelings of jealousy & envy.
Marxism is basically a movement for people that neither want to work nor want to allow others to do better because they choose to work.
Partly. My impression is that the appeal of Marxism lies mostly in the idea of a return to a neo-feudalism. The adherents like an idea where they’re part of the nobility or clergy secure in their position and elevated by law over the masses. Artists and intellectuals seem especially attracted to the notion of having their place at court.
???
The appeal of Marxism, or more specifically, the disappeal of capitalism is its inherent judgement of worth. It’s emotionally far easier to blame your lot on the caste structure than it is to accept that you didn’t succeed because you’re not worthy.
This is the premise of Von Mises’ “The Anti-Capitalistic Mentality.”

Funniest scene from Silicon Valley – https://youtu.be/P-hUV9yhqgY
What do you expect from The San Francisco Chronic?
Hey Neph, I was quite pleasantly surprised by the first episode of Marvel’s TV version of What If…. The animation was beautiful (computer aided rotoscoping?), the writing was strong, the voice acting left a lot to be desired. Seriously, the Marvel Universe has 2 Boston Southies and neither has ever been well cast.
Saw the first episode, it wasn’t bad. For the voice acting, they brought back most of the actors from the movies and television shows to do the voice acting. Only changes were no Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, and the Red Skull was voiced by the guy who voiced him in Infinity Wars. I’m curious what other What ifs they do, but I’m a little disappointed that they’ve said they plan to do a Captain Carter episode in every season.
Really? That’s the aspect that’s putting me off. It looks like a cheap cell shaded animation from a Tell-Tale game.
CommaLa is doing a bang up job with that border thingie.

I might not be an expert on Q but I think murdering children was more or less the opposite of the Q creed, yeah? Tragic inexplicable shit like this rarely fits in a neat little box to put your political enemies in. It would be suspicious if it did.
I’m not an expert on Qanon, but they seem to be against pedophiles, and that’s a good thing, right?
Isn’t that nearly a verbatim Trump quote?

Bravo for the Cryptid Theme “RAPIN’ Their Way!”
Well… at least I had no plans to see Maroon 5. This shit is really getting out of hand, I never thought we would get to the point of needing a medical documentation to go out.
Maroon 5 still exists?
And they still suck.
Unmentioned in the article is whether they will give unvaccinated ticketholders a refund.
Narrator: They will not.
Of course not, you just have to bring medical test documentation (paid for out of your pocket) to get in if you don’t have a vaccination record. Why would you expect a refund?
I emailed them, and no, they will not.
A music venue in NH decided that vaccinations are required for entry. No refunds.
This is the concert I was taking my wife to. She is a big fan, and I bought our tickets in 2019. Now 10 days before the show, they announced we need a vaccination or negative COVID test. We’re not going to do that. I emailed for a refund but they said no, it’s too late. I’ll press the issue more but how can you change something like this at the last minute and not allow people to opt out?
How do these things work anyway? Saw three different options on a standee at CVS: PCR most expensive, middle-priced one could connect to one’s phone… I forget; I should have taken a picture. But how do you convince anyone it’s you (and not your boyfriend who peed on your negative pregnancy test).?
Based on the article, appears to be the time to avoid buying any tickets from LiveNation/TicketMaster:
As it stands, Viva is offering (but not requiring) I’m vaccinated badges on request, the other concerts I’m looking at aren’t LiveNation shows, they’re being ticketed by EventBrite or other providers.
I realize not everyone feels this way, but my view is compelled answers under duress can be whatever you want. Fuck anyone who is trying to infringe on you… you don’t owe them anything. Before I get lambasted for this being a private business… it’s pure theft since Ticketmaster won’t refund. This is being done in coordination with the government so good luck looking to the courts for resolution.
If all you need to do is to flash a card at security, there are resources on the forum. There’s too much risk with serial number verification to upload such a card anywhere, but I can’t imagine there is much risk in showing it to a door bouncer.
This. These people are not owed honesty.
Besides, it’ll be good practice for the future, when you’ll need your forged party ID to get your monthly ration of coffee and salt…
Wife and I have toyed with the idea of just lying until we get caught, but I don’t like being in a position of compromising my own principles in an attempt to get others to leave me alone.
When it comes down to it, I’d rather deal with being exiled for being who I am than live in the shadows of a despotic civilization, lying my way into some semblance of a normal life.
pure theft since Ticketmaster won’t refund
Take it up with card issuer?
I might just do that. Hopefully I used Discover. I had an issue with a hotel reservation web site earlier this year and they went to bat for me, and got the charges reversed.
That’s what some folks dealing with that venue in NH I mentioned above are doing.

I have an idea…
As coronavirus infections rise again, U.S. companies mandating vaccinations are confronting an uncomfortable question rarely asked by an employer – what is an employee’s religious belief?
Google’s parent Alphabet Inc (GOOGL.O), Walmart Inc (WMT.N), and Tyson Foods Inc (TSN.N) are among the growing list of employers requiring some or all staff to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
But with each mandate comes exceptions. Employers have to make reasonable accommodations for staff who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons or refuse vaccination because of “sincerely held religious beliefs,” according to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
“It’s such a touchy subject for both sides,” said Erin McLaughlin, a Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney lawyer who advises large employers.
“This issue has moved to the forefront as we see more and more mandatory vaccination policies,” she said. She said there had been more regulator guidance on exemptions for disabilities than religious beliefs, adding to the challenge as companies draft vaccine policies.
Maybe you shouldn’t try to force your employees into a giant medical experiment based on a grotesquely overhyped risk.
So we usually like to rag on leftie derp; for a little change of pace how about a dollop of neo-con derp?
That article is an almost impenetrable mess of unnecessary words that sound impressive but mean nothing.

Rand Paul discloses, 16 months later, wife’s purchase of stock in company behind COVID-19 treatment
The stock purchase and late filing raise questions about whether Paul and his family used information given to lawmakers about the coronavirus and the government’s plans to fight it so they could make a profit, Prof. James D. Cox of Duke University told the Post. “The senator ought to have an explanation for the trade and, more importantly, why it took him almost a year and a half to discover it from his wife,” he said.
Paul’s spokeswoman, Kelsey Cooper, told the Post that the senator did not attend any confidential briefings about COVID-19, and after Kelley Paul’s stock purchase, he filled out the proper reporting form. Paul just recently found out that the form was never transmitted, Cooper said, and after conferring with the Senate Ethics Committee, he filed the supplemental report and an annual disclosure on Wednesday. Kelley Paul made the stock purchase two days after a top WHO official said remdesivir “may have real efficacy” in treating COVID-19. According to Cooper, the purchase was between $1,000 and $15,000, and Kelley Paul ended up losing money.
Hmm, usually insider trading results in actually earning something.
They will grasp any straw they can to try to discredit Rand Paul.
Not really insider trading is it now if she purchased it two days after the WHO mentioned it might work.
Really. That’s a chump move.
Look, he must have known more which is why his wife lost on the trade.
That’s chump change in DC. Pelosi trades in the millions.
Don he know how to control his woman!? He should giver a good smack is don tellim evrything she buys!
Fix it good
Now Democrats in Congress are moving on to something potentially even harder: staying united on a $3.5 trillion budget that would represent the most ambitious remaking of the social safety net since the New Deal. Without Republican support they have limited time and room for error to get the plan to the president’s desk.
All 50 Senate Democrats stayed together to approve the budget resolution in a party line vote early Wednesday, 50-49, with one GOP senator absent.
The proposal — which would expand health care coverage, fund universal pre-K and free community college, create ambitious federal programs to combat climate change and grant a path to citizenship for qualified immigrants, among other provisions — is likely to be the last major domestic legislative effort for President Biden before Washington, D.C., shifts into political mode full time for the 2022 midterm elections.
We’ll get those votes the old fashioned way. We’ll buy them.
Because LBJ is so posthumously beloved?
LBJ institutionalized the modern corruption of the DNC. He really is the template for all that came after, whether it be buying votes and support or straight up assassination of inconvenient parties.
Yeah, Joe Sr. did only one of those.
So the solution to the rampant corruption and graft is to make sure that we are efficiently greasing everybody’s palms? Got it.
Extinction Rebellion told prison is not a ‘yoga retreat’
https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-48147915
Environmental protest group Extinction Rebellion has said it is sorry for the wording of its online prison guide, after a backlash from civil rights activists.
More than 1,100 protesters were arrested in April, when the group shut down parts of London for 10 days, and future actions are planned.
The guide, which has now been deleted from its website, advised that the risk of violence inside prison was very low because “most prison officers are black and do not wish to give you a hard time”.
It also suggested people should use their time in prison to “practise yoga” and “learn from their experience”.

Baseball birthdays: HoFers Christy Mathewson and Ray Schalk. In between, but way closer to Schalk in WAR is Harlond Clift. 4th is Fred Hutchinson. We skewed way old today.
Schalk didn’t really deserve to be in the HOF. Good player who didn’t cheat is what he had going for him (he was a clean member of the Black Sox). As catcher, he could see what was going on with the pitchers and pretty much confronted them mid-series. And by pretty much, I think he flat out accused them of being on the take.
Unrelated to baseball, but related to the actual post, the Pope Lick Monster lives here: https://theparklands.org/.
Whch is an example of the private sector doing things that people claim only the public sector can do. Yes, unfortunately, they did have some government money to get started, but it was a minority of the original funding and ongoing operation is totally private.
21st Century Parks raised more than $130 million in its Capital Campaign to acquire land and construct the park system. That includes $70.5 million from private sources and $49.5 million from public sources. (The public money includes $38 million from the federal government, $10 million from the state, and $1.5 million from Louisville-Jefferson County Metro Government.) Memberships, private donations, rental fees, program revenue, and an endowment support the annual funding of The Parklands, which is expected to run to about $4.5 million per year. The Parklands does not receive taxpayer support for annual operations.
The $1.5 million from the city/county was a transfer of a park from the Metro park system to 21st century parks.

.@SenTedCruz said “there is clear legal authority to handcuff and put in leg irons legislators that are trying to stop the legislature from being able to do business.” False. There is no legal clarity. http://bit.ly/3erxJzt
Politifact ignores the actual facts. Shocked, I am.
The fact-checking industry is surprisingly devoid of facts.
False. It’s not surprising at all.
It is because you misunderstand the word “checking”. You think it means some sort of process to verify facts. Instead, you should be thinking more along the lines of hockey checking. Where you punish any facts that might get near you.
Well I’d like to see someone finally call a major for “fact boarding” because the fact-checkers are running our facts all over the ice!
I say what we need is the Hansens to keep the fact-checkers in check.

No power since 7pm yesterday. So no water after quick showers last night (well with electric pump). Had to take the dog to doggie day care because we can’t leave him in the house without AC on a 100 degree day. What a pain in the ass.
I grew up in a house with no AC and 100 degree days, why does your dog deserve better than me?
Because dogs can’t shed heat as efficiently as humans and could literally die.
Our dogs survived it as well.
Sweating is a superpower.
It is. It’s how our ancient ancestors persistence hunted (as a tribe) and ran down far faster, stronger animals.

If I remember correctly, members of Congress are not subject to insider trading laws.
At this point that probably only applies to Democrats.
Joe Biden became fabulously wealthy off his government paycheck and nothing else!
“10 million for the Big Guy!”
I mean, he is not wrong, particularly with regard to the establishment regime…
Iran’s Supreme Leader, the Ayatollah Khamenei, recently posted on his official website a compilation video of statements he has made between 2012 and late July 2021, saying that he believes that the United States cannot be trusted and that negotiations are therefore useless. Two days after this video was posted, State Department spokesman Ned Price said that it would be “hard to imagine” that would make Biden’s handlers think that it was useless to engage in negotiations with the Islamic Republic. Could Khamenei’s distrust and intransigence prevent the United States from entering into another disastrous nuclear deal?
Khamenei’s video features him saying in 2016: “Why do I insist so much that there must be no contact with the U.S.? This is true even for negotiations, with the exception of specific subjects that stem from our interests.” This segued into a statement from 2013: “I said at the beginning of the [Persian] year, in my speech in the sacred [city of] Mashhad, that there is no problem to conduct negotiations on specific subjects, but I said that I did not trust the Americans and that I was not optimistic about negotiations with them. However, if they want to conduct negotiations, they can go and do that.”
…but I see no reason to negotiate with them anyway.
Not sure what I think of this story about library directors for Minnesoda living in Cali full time. On one hand I fully support remote work. On the other hand, pubsec fuckers should be required to go to an office every single day because I don’t trust them to actually work.
The story is about two vip’s in Hennepin County’s (Mpls) library system, who both make 180K+, taking advantage of the pandemic to work remotely from California. Turns out there are quite a few govt drones doing so (maybe no Cali, but not in Minnesoda). The library guys are head of HR and the Director. So pretty important roles.
The story is full of bitching and moaning from librarians who are mad because they have to show up for work at the library.
The most irritating quote:
Sorry, but if you don’t know the top guy in the organization you are supposed to be supervising has moved thousands of miles away, I think you should lose your phony-boloney job. And it also reinforces my suspicion that the library director is also a phony-boloney job if he isn’t even required to talk to the oversight board.
Nonsequitur: If my last name was ‘Gaw’, I would absolutely name one of my kids ‘Gee’
Or Guy if I was Quebecois.
Gee Gaw has to be the ultra country Latinix right?
“It’s not illegal if the
PresidentLibrary Director does it.”Prior to 1971, to work in a library, one had to posses a love of books and some free time. Then, one of the Cali schools (either UC Berkeley, or UC Santa Cruz) created a graduate program in Library Science, turning the field into just another credentialed government sinecure.
If you know your subordinates are misbehaving and you don’t try to stop it, you are complicit. If you *don’t* know your subordinates are misbehaving, you are incompetent.

I was mulling an idea this morning. I know that the data show conservatives have a higher rate of charitable giving than progressives. The thing I’d like to see is data on libertarians. Libertarians often get accused of a lack of empathy. But my anecdotal observation seems to run in the opposite direction. Rather than the idiotic stereotype of libertarians thinking they’re near-omnipotent supermen held back by the weak, my impression is that a lot of libertarians are libertarians out of empathy. Political power is and always must be about making bets with other people’s lives, liberties and property. And it will pretty much always be to the detriment of the people whose lives, liberties and property you’re gambling. Otherwise, the power of government wouldn’t be necessary for that. Libertarians seem to be the ones who say, “No, I don’t want to be that guy. I don’t want to do that to people.”. They consider, not just the worthiness or unworthiness of their intentions, but the consequences of those intentions on others. Obviously, a higher rate of libertarian charitable giving would tend to confirm that hypothesis.
“Independents” look like Democrats, only less so. They give more than the Ds do, but not nearly as much as the Rs. Of course, within independents is a lot of possible people, so no idea about libertarians or LIbertarians.
What is called charitable giving covers so many causes. Advocacy donations are different from donations to food banks. I would be interested to see a breakout of the types of charitable donations. I would also like to end deductions for charitable giving.
From what I’ve read, the discrepancy runs across income levels and charitable causes. So, no, it’s not just tithing to their church. I think, for education, for example the numbers ran an average of $140 to $8.

“Screw you freedom…”
Arnold Schwarzenegger has a message for Americans who argue that face masks encroach on their rights: “Screw your freedom.”
“Because with freedom comes obligations and responsibilities,” the Republican former California governor said in a YouTube video released Wednesday. The action movie-star-turned-politician’s remarks were part of a discussion with CNN’s Bianna Golodryga and Alexander Vindman to promote Vindman’s new book, “Here, Right Matters.”
“We cannot just say, ‘I have the right to do X, Y and Z.’ When you affect other people, that is when it gets serious,” Schwarzenegger, 74, said.
The ex-bodybuilder likened opposition to face masks to bucking traffic laws.
“You cannot say, ‘No one is going to tell me that I’m going to stop here, that I have to stop at this traffic light here. I’m going to go right through it.’ Then you kill someone else, and then it is your doing,” he said.

I like the comments pointing out that cheating on one’s wife with the maid is actually legal. Some people just don’t get it and never will.
Did you catch Sowell’s tweet in there?
My response to that:
Not as mysterious as you would think – it is reversion to obedience to authority. In the past if a priest or bishop was ‘wrong’, he didn’t lose authority over the laity and he could only be corrected by someone higher in the church hierarchy. Today we substitute higher in the victim stack of intersectionality as the modern hierarchy of authority. Either way, believers are going to believe.
Funny how the asshole we mistakenly elected last recall is suddenly showing up again. Like they’re trying to warn us off or something. I doubt we could do any worse, and Newsom ain’t any better than Arnie was.

President Joe Biden will meet Wednesday with the heads of several companies and institutions that are requiring their employees get vaccinated against Covid-19, aiming to encourage more companies to follow suit, a White House official said.
Biden will meet virtually with the CEOs of United Airlines and Kaiser Permanente, as well as the president of Howard University and a South Carolina small business owner, the official said. All are requiring their employees be vaccinated and Howard University is also requiring students to be vaccinated.
Biden is expected to tout their efforts as models for the private sector, highlighting the ability of corporations, small businesses, health care providers and higher education to help the US boost vaccination rates.
Explaining his decision to require the company’s 67,000 employees to be vaccinated, United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby and President Brett Hart said it is clear that “everyone is safer when everyone is vaccinated” and noted that Kirby has written “dozens of condolence letters to the family members of United employees who have died from COVID-19.”
“We’re determined to do everything we can to try to keep another United family from receiving that letter,” the executives wrote in a letter to employees last week.
They should all come out in blackface and sing Camptown Races.
The dems trying to get people fired…the dems wanting to extend unemployment…hmm…
The party of government dependency needs people dependent on government.
He said he’d get 70% vaccinated and if he has to, he’ll start vaccinating the dead. You will help him get his number, fat! Just because it’s starting to look like the vax doesn’t even work very well and the numbers are being inflated by massively ramping testing back up, there’s no reason not get to get the safe and effective secret sauce mainlined into your veins. Now, do it, or else!
Is that how the zombie apocalypse starts?
We have 4,000 employees where I work. The ceo just stated that we’ve had 5 deaths. Most of our workforce is old and all of the guys who died were at least 60 with two being close to 80. There just ain’t a bunch of healthy normal people keeling over from this.
Hey, when you’re approaching 30% of the population =
obesehas “co-morbidities”, guess what?That’s a significant portion of the population. It’s no wonder why the country is cheering vaxxing and lockdowns.
So we’ve reached the point where we punish the healthy people who actually lived their lives in a reasonably healthy fashion to protect those who are responsible for the massive increase in medical costs and account for 1.8 million dead every year.

Elon has some great things to say in Part I on manufacturing development and design simplification for manufacturability.

Whenever someone comes to our team with a new project idea, my boss has a list of questions (things like “how will you measure success?” “what is the endpoint?”). They almost always look baffled.
To be fair, I’ve run into managers like that where they expect a full financial analysis and requirements paper whenever a new idea comes up. Usually, I have no clue because I’m running the general idea past them as a gauge of interest before committing tens of hours to fleshing the idea out.
That’s not what I said, though. I said “things like ‘how will you measure success?’ ”
Answer: “our goal is 2 million social media shares”
That doesn’t require any kind of in-depth analysis.
Yep, sorry, went on a little bit of a tangent.
how will you measure success?
That’s code for “tell me how many headcount your idea will reduce” in my department. Yes, there’s some dysfunction that makes me balk at such questions. ?
My issue is our commercial folks quote a price for a new product we’ve never manufactured before to a customer, and then based on that, come up with a budget for us to design, build, start up, and operate a new plant to make it.
When we take their capital allowance number and say “here’s what you get for the money you’re willing to allocate” they balk at the production cost. “why’s it cost more than our quoted price to make this product? You need to sharpen your pencil.” The answer is that labor is very expensive–it’s the most expensive part of producing this product. If you’d allocated more capital, we’d have been able to automate enough tasks to cut headcount by three, and you’d have a margin greater than zero.
These fucking people.
It’s not that complicated on my team…we just do stupid web sites. So if someone comes and asks my boss for a new web site because some politically-connected douche wants to piss on the fire hydrant, my boss expects some basic answers other than “the Deputy Assistant Sub Under-Undersecretary wants it”.
I would expect that any idea has an answer to why it should be done, even before it is fully fleshed out. Of course, this is virtually never the case in govt.

It looks like Facebook has successfully defeated AdBlock for the time being. The latest Chrome update fucked up all my bookmarks & extensions, so I had to reconfigure AdBlock on Facebook. Well, every time I set it up to block a certain specific div where the ads are placed, ALL images end up getting blocked. So FB must have changed its structure to make all image divs the same. So if I don’t want to see ads, I won’t be able to see any other images.
The obvious answer: Ditch
FaceDerpbook.Nope. It’s how I keep in touch with people who don’t live near me, or who I don’t see very often.
Yeah, our oldest kid does the same thing, and she has some of the same complaints about Facebook. Life is full of tradeoffs, I guess.
Being a curmudgeonly old coot, I have very few old friends I want to keep in touch with, and when I want to catch up, I generally just call them. But that’s me.
Email for me. Yeah, my circle is much smaller than 10 years ago, but I also haven’t been inundated with my old college roommates’ opinions about the vaccine.
I politely told my real friends on Facebook that I was leaving, and that I’d like to keep in touch via e-mail or text or phone. It works fine.
Exactly.
I don’t go around evangelizing about the evils of social media, but when the subject comes up, I tell people my reasons for not using it (the structure tends to produce discussion of the lowest quality, the companies are engaged in some serious opinion control, it ends up being a gigantic waste of time, etc).
They don’t even disagree with those things, but they always have just one thing they use it for… “I just use it to keep in touch with some Army buddies” or “I just like to see pictures of my nephews”.
It’s tricky to convince people that you can do all those things with email, or you can do just those things and then leave Facebook.
Do you care that much about whether other people are using social media?
Do you care that much about whether other people are using social media?
Yes, for two reasons.
1) it makes it extremely hard to socialize in circles bigger than 2 or 3 when most people are completely unwilling to interact outside of social media.
2) it’s impossible to avoid. Hell, look at this article. How many comments include Twitter links? For somebody like me who doesn’t want to partake in social media, I’d really like to convince some people to join me in the non-social media world so I can completely stop giving clicks to those asshole companies.
No not really, but sometimes the topic comes up, and it seems like some people know that social media is a net negative for them, and they’d like to quit, but they feel like they have to stay connected to it for this one thing.
It’s more like advice I give people when the conversation lands on that topic – “Well if you wanted to just ditch social media, you could do X”.
I never got on that shitshow, and I thank the powers that be every day for having been had the foresight to avoid that evil place.

Arrest this heretic.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change just released its latest climate report, and reactions from politicians and media pundits could not have been more predictable.
Fitting the apocalyptic narrative many have spun lately, the always-breathless Guardian literally summarized this scientific report as finding mankind “guilty as hell” of “climate crimes of humanity.” (Needless to say, the report never says any such things.)
UN Secretary-General António Guterres called the findings a “code red for humanity,” saying we can only avert catastrophe by acting in the next couple of months. Of course, the United Nations has a long history of claiming catastrophe is right around the corner: The first UN environment director claimed half a century ago that we had just 10 years left, and the then-head of the IPCC insisted in 2007 that we had just five years left.

Why is it OK for NPR to contradict the CDC but not social media users?”

People have been banned, or had their shit deleted, for posting actual CDC-sourced data. Looking for rhyme or reason in anything COVID-related is an exercise in futility.
Our media is even more fanatical about getting only their message out than the Soviets were with Pravda – but far less competent.
Same reason that Dr. Wen on CNN can say cloth masks don’t work and are not enough and it is okay and yet, Paul is censored for saying the same thing.
“Yes, they are real. Sasquatch, Dogmen live in an area near me (Orange County, New York). Their habitat consists of about 350 acres. I have over the years experienced a lot of things, including sightings. They frequent the trees and can see in the infrared spectrum. That is why they are rarely caught on trail cams. The juvenile’s will be the ones most likely to be seen. The Dogmen and Sasquatch either can come from the same family or the two clans intermingle. I have photographic proof of that.
Oh boy.
I’ve seen it all…
I love deconstructing these things:
No, they aren’t.
No, they don’t.
No, it doesn’t.
No, you haven’t.
No.
No, they are never caught on trail cams because they don’t exist.
No, they won’t be seen, because there aren’t any. And learn how to properly use an apostrophe, you marginally literate twat.
No, you don’t.
Same tactics can apply to people claiming to have seen ghosts, UFOs, whatever.
Apologies to the SMITH clan.
A single black bear needs around 40K acres to survive. If you have ever spent time in the woods you might have noticed there aint much to eat out there.

Dean said, “He’s totally unfit to govern in any way, and he’s an embarrassment to every governor, I mean every governor, both Republicans and Democrats. A guy like this should never be in public authority. The good news here for the people of Florida is that people are beginning to stand up to this. In the last 24 hours, there are a number of large school districts that have ignored DeSantis’ crazy order. DeSantis is doing this to position himself to run for president with the MAGA people, but what he doesn’t realize and he’s a smart guy.”
“What he doesn’t realize is that COVID sank Donald Trump’s presidency, and it’s going to sink DeSantis because the people of Florida,” he continued. “I don’t think DeSantis could carry Florida if he ran for president right now. The thing that’s going to really kill him is the businesses in Florida that are really getting hammered right now. Who in their right mind would take a vacation or go visit anybody who lived in Florida right now? You literally really risk your life, especially if you have children.”
Your political calculus is wanting, I think, unless FL uses Dominion.
He’s still alive? Huh.
Yeaaaaah!
Alive and apparently someone wants to hear his opinion. This is a continuation of the tone deafness that got us Trump in the first place. “But nobody *I* know voted for Nixon!”
In a fair election (LOL) DeSantis would mop the floor with Biden or Harris.
This guy appears to be living in a different reality.
These people are mentally ill. Truly. We used to define “mentally ill” in reference to a norm – that norm was the reality of which we are all apart.
For example, Klingarr (Jamie Farr was great in that role) dresses as a woman in order to prove he is crazy so that he can get a “Section 8” – a discharge because he is mentally unfit to be in the Army. But of course everyone knows what he’s doing, so they just ignore his schtick. It was a brilliant gag – but it only works when the audience all “know” that a guy claiming to be a woman has something wrong with him mentally. He’s refusing to accept Reality. We might feel sorry for such a person, empathize, and otherwise try to be supportive, but we wouldn’t claim that he was right and the rest of us were wrong…
…Now Rachel Levine is in charge of the health of regular Americans.
And Laurel Hubbard competes against biological women – in the Olympics.
And Fallon Fox is cheered as a hero for caving in biological women’s skulls and faces.
We are being run by a guy who can’t string together a coherent paragraph of thought.
Mentally Ill – we are being led and ordered about by the mentally ill.
I can’t believe M*A*S*H hasn’t been canceled.
Noted wingnut Alan Alda has some ’splainin’ to do.
As I recall, the noted horndog character had his consciousness raised before the end of the series. It was truly a shark-jumping moment.
You’re right, they are divorced from reality. But, I can’t help but draw on a point Ayn Rand made. Maybe the rest of us are at least partly to blame. How have the rest of us responded to their every insistence on irrationality their every denial of reality? For the most part, it’s been indulged. If they say 2+2=5, we figure a way to get around it so that they can pretend that’s the case and the rest of us bare the consequences. They say a rock is a loaf of bread and we figure out how to make loaves of bread that look like rocks at twice the cost and extra hours worth of labor. And in that world, what should they think? Should they think that reality is an absolute that their understanding has to be measured against? Why? What in the experience we’ve provided for them would lead them to that conclusion? Why wouldn’t they think that if they just will biology to follow their wishes hard enough, that reality wouldn’t adapt itself to their wishes? Why wouldn’t they think that it’s something we’ve denied them rather than reality?
To be fair, there were a lot of people trying to push back against this BS while it was still growing legs in academia. They were roundly rejected by the rest of us as “culture warriors”.
Turns out that liberalism and pluralism don’t stay emulsified. Eventually some dominant worldview precipitates out, and it’s neither liberal or pluralist.
“Whatchoo mean ‘we’, kemosabe?”
I’ve been screaming at the top of my lungs and even litigating in court, fighting it every step of the way, brother.
Okay, we might be misplaced here. But, I think you get my point. Enough of the sane have indulged every irrational whim of the lunatics that the lunatics are, in a really messed up way, rational. I mean, the lunatics are now the ones in charge. That alone should tell you something is right with their strategy. Yes, people pushed back against the irrationality. But, even the rational rejected them. Now we’re experiencing the consequences.
Howard’s political acumen appears to be a little bit off. DeSantis is insanely popular in Florida.
ALL FALSE CONSCIOUSNESS – THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT IS IN THEIR OWN BEST INTEREST!
YeeeaaahhhHHHHHHHHHHHH
These dishonest cuntes make my blood boil.
Wallace said, “Can you fathom an example of a politician of another party meeting with the mother of a domestic terrorist and the other party really just sort of shrugging it off? Where are we? I mean, where are we in our politics that the ex-president, inciting violent extremism, meets with the mother of, by your definition and by Officer Hodges, the mother of a terrorist, and everyone kind of shrugs it off?”
Taylor said, “You were there in the Bush years. Could you imagine that President Bush had met with either the widow or mother of a jihadist that had killed American troops or was trying to kill American troops? It would have been an absolute political scandal of epic proportions.”
He added, “It is the equivalent of going to meet with someone who was trying to attack our democracy ourselves. The mother of someone who was trying to attack democracy ourselves itself. Politicizing this issue.”
Wow. They are just not going to quit until it comes to blows.
That coyote is snarling, but let’s keep backing it into the corner. Eventually it’ll start cowering.
Like Obama and Bill Ayers?
“Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers” was always my favorite nickname for BHO.
Hey-ohhh!
At this point I guess I just have to accept that there can be no peaceful resolution with people like this. Either it comes to violence, or we are made their slaves, because they leave no room for anything else.
Okay, maybe I’m just a bad person, but this story gave me a bit of schadenfreudey amusement. Apple wants to be woke. Let them put their money where their mouth is.
Perfect test scenario. I hope they show the absolute kindness and generosity we come to expect from our betters.
Being ‘woke’ is about signaling and parroting the correct narrative. It is definitely not about putting your money where your mouth is.
It’s about putting OTHER PEOPLE’s money where your mouth is.
“The tech company says it’s trying to come up with a solution”
It only needs a solution if you accept that it’s a problem.

I’m not gonna start hating the homeless. Hate the system that created so many of them.
^^^
Oh, I agree. It’s not the homeless I’m hating on here. It’s Apple. They want to parrot the progressive line that the homeless are uniformly victims who the rest of us are monsters for treating this way, then fine, Apple has a responsibility by their own narrative.
Fair enough. wd.
They will clear this place out eventually, all quiet, cause these people believe the rules apply to us, not to them…
They’ll clear it out by paying a nonprofit run by proggie grifters to “relocate” the people to new suitable, sustainable housing. Apple’s public image will be secure, their consciences will be calmed, the grifters will make a bunch of money taking Apple’s payments and using them to buy the homeless bus tickets to Florida, certifying that they have been resettled, and pocketing the rest of the money. No audit of what actually happened to those people will ever be asked for or conducted.
Hard SCIENCE!
As schools start classes across the United States, public health experts warn that the politics around masks could hinder the nation’s fight against Covid-19.
But the real-life evidence about masks leaves little doubt that they work.
In some places where schools have been open for a while now, such as Georgia and Hawaii, public health experts notice what happens when schools follow the science: classes go on without disruption as long staff and students wear masks.
But when staff and students do not wear masks, Covid-19 can spread, forcing people to stay home to quarantine and classes returning to virtual learning.
Conclusive proof from controlled experiments.
Or, you know, wishful thinking and unsupported speculation.
public health experts
I’m out
But the real-life evidence about masks leaves little doubt that they work.
If by “work” you mean “demonstrate slavish compliance”.
“But the real-life evidence about masks leaves little doubt that they work.”
Who are you, so wise in the ways of science?
Public health officials have been urging schools and parents to keep politics out of the classroom. Dr. Francis Collins, director of the US National Institutes of Health, implored parents on Sunday to see masks for what they really are.
“This is not a political statement or invasion of your liberties. This is a life-saving medical device, and asking kids to wear a mask is uncomfortable, but kids are pretty resilient,” Collins told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on This Week.
“If we don’t have masks in schools, this virus will spread more widely. It will probably result in outbreaks in schools and kids will have to go back to remote learning, which is the one thing we really want to prevent,” Collins said.
Something something stated without evidence.
This is a life-saving medical device….uh, I am sure that isn’t true. But hey, they are allowed to lie.
Relevant.
Device code QKR, unclassified, exempt from GMP requirements except for general requirements concerning records (820.180) and complaint files (820.198), as long as the device is not labeled or otherwise represented as sterile. Definition (emphasis added by me):
Face mask is intended to be worn by general public or healthcare personnel and excludes N95 respirators. The mask covers the user’s nose and mouth and may or may not meet fluid barrier or filtration efficiency levels. The device is subject to the Enforcement Policy for Face Masks and Respirators During the declared Public Health Emergency, provided that the device does not create undue risk by following the recommendations for this device type outlined in the guidance.
Forgot to add: While this is listed as “unclassified,” the GMP exemption is only given to Class I devices, which are subject to a minimal level of regulation. One can hardly describe them as “life-saving.” Devices on which a patient’s life might depend are almost always Class III, the highest level of scrutiny.
“This is a life-saving medical device”
No. It isn’t. The best masks are rated for 0.3 microns. The cootie bugs are 0.01 microns…thirty times smaller than the masks are rated. When you exhale them the bugs are contained in aerosolized droplets of body fluids. Those droplets stick to the mask but because they are so small they evaporate quickly leaving the cooties glued down with dried snot. As you breath, talk, cough, etc the fibers in the mask grind those snot flakes smaller and smaller until they work their way through the mask. This is why the mask manufacturers recommend changing your mask every 15 minutes. Who changes their mask every 15 minutes? No one, that’s who.
We have a bazillion studies showing that masks are useless and not one showing that they work at containing infection. We have those studies because after the Spanish flu one hundred years ago we noticed that masks dont work and we wanted to know why. Now we know why. It is just a goddamned security blanket for people who let fear rule their lives. Dr. Collins knows very well that what he is shoveling is horseshit.
Yep, they give a sense of control over one’s own chances if catching it and little else. An N95 properly worn, handled, and changed out regularly is another story but good luck with that.
They also signal your goodthinkfulness to everyone else.
Here is a good roundup of evidence against the effectiveness of masks in regards to contagious respiratory viruses.
https://www.city-journal.org/do-masks-work-a-review-of-the-evidence
Ha. I was going to link this above but trashy’s plugin told me someone else already did.
Yeah, the “consensus” around masks is complete and utter bullshit.
Also, check here: https://hancockcountypatriots.blogspot.com/2021/08/dr-dan-stocks-presentation-to-mt-vernon.html
Particularly: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gIbhIsbV_rIul7FLvfiI9PhWskUe2IUa/view
Conclusion: The recommendation to wear surgical masks to supplement other public health measures did not reduce the SARS-CoV-2 infection rate among wearers by more than 50% in a community with modest infection rates, some degree of social distanceing, and uncommon general mask use. The data were compatible with lesser degrees of self-protection
That conclusion has a hole in it, though, namely that they say the community had uncommon mask use. A mask proponent could use that to say that if 100% wore masks, that maybe the effect would have been greater. But the results show there was a statistically insignificant difference (0.3 percentage points) between mask wearers and non-wearers.
Tom Woods has some good info on this at covidchartsquiz.com
If you ignore all the kids who’ve committed suicide over the last year and a half, kids are pretty resilient. Yup yup.
In late July, an internal CDC document noted that the Delta coronavirus variant surging across the United States appears to cause more severe illness and can spread as easily as chickenpox — detailing that one person infected with the Delta variant could spread the virus to five to eight other people on average. With chickenpox, each infected person, on average, can infect eight or nine others.
Bullshit number is bullshit.
People are falling for it yet again. This is the same BS they pulled a year ago April. “IT’S THE END OF THE WOOOOORLDDDDDDDD!”
I’ve heard the opposite on the illness severity and the death rate is way lower. The transmissibility seems to be greater but so what?
I haven’t seen any data at all to back this up, just speculative statements with wild, astronomical numbers about how many “could” die.
Also, the media is blasting the “elevendy thousand million times more transmissible” without mentioning the severity of symptoms. So knowing how they operate, it makes me think that they know it’s significantly less deadly but they’re lying by omission.
Yes they are open about transmission but obscure the severeness it would seem. As you noted, when discussing its severity, words like ‘may’ ‘seems’ ‘appears’ ‘could be’ are used.
Weasel words are nullities.
It’s not just bullshit, it’s verifiably incorrect. NPR, of all outlets, called the CDC out on their “error.”
A healthy 50 y.o. acquaintance recently tested + (wife no) and his chief (only?) symptom was anosmia.

Shocking
“It was shocking,” Maxwell told CNN on Thursday morning. Maxwell left the meeting early, after the public speaking portion, he said. The energy in the room was “hot,” he said, and he knew “things were going to get a lot worse.”
Maxwell and his wife, who is also a medical professional, braced themselves before walking outside, he said. “I took my wife’s arm and I said, ‘Just remember, no matter what they say, these are the lives we’re trying to save.'”
There was a crowd chanting when they stepped outside, Maxwell said. Someone approached him, “put their hand in my face and called me a traitor.”
“I don’t see how anyone can say that when I’ve been on the front lines of this pandemic since the beginning, treating patients in rooms, unvaccinated for the vast majority of it, hoping I wouldn’t take it home to my family. And for someone to say that, it’s mind-blowing,” he told CNN.
I’m ten thousand times better than you. I’m a saint, you goddam ignorant ape. A FUCKING SAINT.
I don’t see how anyone can say that when I’ve been on the front lines of this pandemic since the beginning
Its because, no matter your profession, advocating for the destruction of liberal society is subversive, at best.
Hey Maxwell? When people tell you how they feel, believe them.
We started with “Let’s not overwhelm the hospitals.” That seemed pretty sensible to most people. The establishment quickly and secretly pivoted to “No one is to get sick anywhere. Ever.”
Why all the anger, unsophisticated proles?
Two weeks to
Flatten The Curvedo a Global Reset.Yeah, what do they know about central pivot irrigation anyway?
That isn’t water you’re spraying all over me.
That’s why I will never believe any promises from these people about when we can have our rights back. They’ve lied every step of the way, and it’s clear that they want to keep this going literally forever.
Here’s when it will end: When the big pushers are removed from their offices, or when they are met with such ferocious resistance to their diktats that they back off out of fear.
We have a statewide mask mandate from our dear leader. No one is paying attention to it aside from one business that is part of a large corporation. Everyone else is ignoring it.
We are way beyond any danger from the authorities losing their credibility. It’s all long gone, shot, kaput.
Walter Plecker was the foremost eugenicist in Virginia during the Jim Crow era. He singlehandedly created and enforced a large portion of the regressive policies that kept blacks and whites separated and disintegrated the Indian tribes in the state.
He was also responsible for lowering the infant mortality rate in minority populations by an a significant amount due to outreach efforts and medical care he spearheaded.
Now explain to me how his good works justified or offset his evil actions.
Do you care that much about whether other people are using social media?
Interesting question. On a personal level, not really. On a macro level it is almost definitely the prime enabler of our destruction.
I still maintain a facebook account under the idea that I can easily contact someone I haven’t talked to in a long time and whose info I don’t have at the ready. Or to use the messenger service as an e-mail platform of sorts. I haven’t done that in a year or so, though.
What gets me is, occasionally I’ll google a business, say a restaurant, and the only web presence the restaurant has is a facebook page. If I’m not logged into facebook, I can’t see this restaurant’s menu, hours, etc. Good thinking.

Someone linked Jim Breuer on Anthony Cumia’s show and it was one of the funniest things I’ve heard.
They called the true believers “COVID Parakeets” and were repeating “wear the mask” “follow the science” and other famous phrases while squawking like birds. I had tears, I was laughing so hard.
Only problem is, now when I see twitter comments or people in real life talking I keep hearing this loud squawk in my head.
I can’t link youtube at work, but you should watch it.
That was supposed to be a reply to The Late P Brooks’s Hard SCIENCE! link above.
Guess I Brooks’d it.
I was with that interview for a bit…then they are like well this is all lies, so BUSH DID 9/11!
Once it gets past that part, it’s hilarious!
I almost shut it off in the beginning also.
I watched the whole thing. It was entertaining. I just wouldn’t link to it as a source on sane thinking.
So, I think I was sexually harassed at work yesterday. By a guy. Do the gays have a union I can complain to? Sure me sucking on my Fat Vape looks sexual and I’m a ‘bear’. But, I’m also a person, not just a glorious beard.

Why should I pay? I’m the one with glorious beard!
Well then, if he wouldn’t pay you, I would say you have a legit complaint.

Officially taking time away from events again. This Delta stuff is getting scary.
Get vaxxed, wear a mask and practice healthy living is key now more than ever.
Outside of people who constantly delve into political stuff the majority of my social network more or less echo the above sentiment. It’s useless. No wonder I haven’t been on Facebook in 2 years.
“COVID Parakeets”
Don’t you know your times tables?! Sheesh!
“and practice healthy living”
Whoops. Our insane overreach resulted in a bunch of gyms closing. Sorry!
We must protect the nation against every cold from now on for eternity, it’s the only way! It’s that or tanks and camps! OK, it’s tanks and camps regardless.

That Nicolle Wallace link is fun.
MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace said Wednesday on her show “Deadline” that former President Donald Trump was “inciting violent extremism” by meeting with the mother and husband of Ashli Babbitt, the rioter who an officer inside the Capitol fatally shot on January 6.
Wednesday after the meeting, Trump put out a statement saying Babbitt was “murdered at the hands of someone who should never have pulled the trigger of his gun,” adding, “We know who it is.”
Anchor Nicolle Wallace said, “On the ex-president’s statement. I have been grappling with how to cover it without amplifying it. The ex-president met with the mother, Ashley Babbitt. I want to ask you if you agree with Officer Hodges, who was one of the four Capitol police officers who testified before the 1/6 Select Committee investigating the insurrection that the insurrectionists were domestic terrorists.”
Sure, Nicolle. What you meant to say was, “My desperate need to say bad stuff about Former President Cartoon Villain overpowered my desire to memoryhole Ashli Babbit and pretend she never existed. Journalisming is hard.”
This is one of those flip flop moments. Now the Dems BACK THE BLUE and the Reps…well they do what they are told…
My theory is the Democrats have always loved the idea of unaccountable police. They need that iron fist to dole out all the bans they want to roll out for their utopia. They need police who will crack heads and throw people in rape cages with total impunity.
That’s why they all their messaging was about racism. They know damn well that all the racial sensitivity powerpoints in the world would not fundamentally change how police forces operate. They just want to use “racial injustice” as a wedge issue, not actually stop police from shooting innocent people and facing no consequences.

Taylor concluded, “What this does is it leads to radicalization of more people who could potentially pose a threat because it legitimizes that sort of civil disorder and conduct.”

I love the fact that the same people who brag that they’ll punch a Nazi are the same people who are advocating for the government to strip themselves and others of their rights. If some real motherfucking dictator took over and started doing some Nazi shit, these people would either comply or participate faster than you can say mass graves.
